1T A BE DONE,

A long time ago the query was pro.
pounded: Scan the Ethiopian change
his skin, or the leopard his spots?" We
are not well up as to the speckled beau
ties, but there is evidence in Sacramento
upon which an affirmative answer to the
first proposition can be based. A colored
man named Antoine Metoyer has been
employed at the railroad works in this
city for some time, and his steadiness
and industry has caused him to be es-
teemed by those acquainted with him.
Seven or eight months ago his skin was
black, but it commenced to turn white,
and now his body, arms, legs and neck
are as white as those of any Caucasian.
The original color is now only npon his
face. extending back of the ears, just
beneath the chin, and across the upper
portion Of the forehead, making him ap.
pear to be wearing a close fitting black
or dark brown mask. On the chin and
nose the dark color is beginning to wear
away, and he thinks in a few weeks he
will be perfectly white. As he is a
good, big man, and it has only taken
seven or eight months to do SO much for
him, it probably will not be many pay.
days before the paymaster will require
some one to identify him. His hair and
whiskers are black and curly. Medical
men have taken much interest in his
case, and attribute the change in com
plexion to the effect upon his system of
working constantly with potash and
other material used in washing greasy
waste. He has been advised that it may
be dangerous for him to continue under
this influence, but he declares that he
will stay until the process he is under
going is completed, if it kills him.

MINING LEGITIMArE.

Many people do great injustice to the
investor in mining properties or pros
poets when they call him . gambler "
or "speculator." There is a large ele-
ment of chance in mining, but that ele.
ment exists in a greater or less degree
in almost every one of the occupations
called legitimate. Speaking Of the
chances one takes in making an invest
ment, an exchange truthfully remarks:
The miller lays in q big stock of wheat
in the hope that the price of -four will
advance while he is grinding it. The
wholesale grocery merchant buys a large
stock OF sugar when it is cheap and
stores it away in anticipation of an in.
crease in market value. The clothing
merchant purchases a large invoice Of
overcoats in the hope and belief that the
Winter will be long. All of these are
spectators in their various ways. The
miller may find the price of -four, when
he to sell, lower than it was when
he bought his wheat. The grocer may
be caught with q large stock Of sugar
on hand when there is an unusually good
crop Of cane. The Winter may be short,
and the clothing merchant may have to
sell his overcoats at a loss. They take
the chances of making or losing money.
The mine.owner also takes chances. He
has put his money into a piece of prop
erty which may or may not develop a
crop of precious metal. If it does, the
chances are that his reward will be much
greater than it would have been had he
invested his capital in any other enter.
prise. The man who buys a piece OF
property with the intention of digging
in it for gold and silver is no more a
"gambler than the man who cultivates
the soil in the hope that it will bring
forth a good crop Of grain. Mining is al
legitimate as any other business enter
prise.-Mining and Scientific Press.

Ansi.0erman Feeling.


PARIS, June 2l.-The Paris news
papers express indignation over the
sentences decreed at Leipsic against
the Alsatian members of the Patriotic
League, convicted of high treason for
assisting in the agitation to keep alive
the anti-annexation feeling in Alsace-
Lorraine. The members OF the league
signed an appeal to President Grevy,
begging him to ~intervene for the release
of Koechlon. 1t is not thought prob
able that Grevy will accede.
Worse than First Reported.
VIENNA, June 21.-Later particulars
show that the recent ferry accident at
Paks, on the Danube river, was much
worse than at first reported. The
boat was fearfully overcrowded, hav-
ing 500 persons aboard. 1t is stated
that the boatmen were intoxicated.
1t is estimated that 800 persons were
drowned. Over 200 bodies have been
recovered. The recognition of bodies
by friends ON shore is attended with

This village was the scene Of a terrible

The Philadelphia, Wilmington &

BILE picture. The express due here at
5 $50 had left the station and run but a
few yards, when it was met by the
Congressional express from Washing
ton, running at a high rate of speed,
and a fearful wreck ensued. The fast
express struck the baggage a of the
south bound train just as it crossed
the switch below the depot and
crashed into the parlor cars behind,
overturning and demolishing two Of
them. No one on the north-bound
train was hurt, but the south-bound

and nearly all were more or less in
jured, and Alexander Grantrom of

killed

RepuDl,ceDs should Organize.

The Democratic party Of this city,
80 far a. its city organization IL con-
cerned, is putting itself In . condition
In which it will be able to act either
defeuslvesy or offensively Is oircum-
stances may require. 1t is not ct oil
likely that 1t will have much opposition
ct the approaching city election. but 1t
IL thought best for 1t that 1t should be
ready In case opposition should spring
up. Tae Republicans have made no
preparations yet whatever TO meet the
city e''c' On, and 1t may safely be In.
ferred That no issue will DO made. They
are instead Of being In hopeless MI
nori.y In . majority In the oily, but
owing TO the peculiar methods OF
making assessments and collecting
taxes they are powerless to utilize
their majority, and the consequence 10
that hardly respectable minority, 90
far ~ num bers are concerned, take any
Interest In elections any more, and the
Democratic party 10 permitted to have
its own way. No doubt there are .
great many Republicans qualified to
vote who do not vote, simply because
they have found 1t useless TO make any
contest in the face OF the Democratic
frauds that debAuched the ballot boxes
OF our ely. This, however, is no OK
cuse for not organizing now, not spe-
cislly to contest the city election, but
to prepare for the moro important Con.
stitutionai Convention which is to take
place on the second Tuesday OF mex
November.
1t 10 very necessary that every VOTE
In favor Of . convention should bt
polled. This ID no ordinary election In
which . majority Of votes Is to rule
but an election that requires 16, COZ
votes to be polled affirmatively-that II
In favor of . convention in order that 9
convention may be called. This viii
be no contest with the Democratic
party, bus for onoe Republicans ant
Democrats alike are interested In call
ing s's;e Constitutional Convention
and both can vote alike without any
violation OF party principles. Th'
grea. object will be to poll 5000 vote
in favor Of . Constitutional Conven
tiop, and every vote cast for that meas
ure will count whether ballot for I
convention be put In the box by q Re
publican or by Q Democrat. This Il
the object for which the Republican,
shoult organize and bring cut every
vote. There is an advantage In organi
zlng early and keeping up constan
agitation Of the question. 1t familiar
